Asked by Grayson

A yardstick casts a shadow of 24 in. at the same time a telephone pole casts a shadow of 20 ft 8 in. What is the height of the telephone pole, to the nearest inch? (1 yd = 36 in., and 1 ft = 12 in.)

Answered by Ms. Sue
36/24 = x/248

Cross multiply and solve for x.

24x = 8,928

x = 372 inches
